Live DJ set at 1982 Art Space & Bar, Athens

Urok Shirhan’s practice and research emerges from questions rooted in her biography and family history of political struggle and (forced) migrations. Her latest body of work considers the role of sound – and the voice in particular – in relation to collectivity, dissidence, and belonging. 

In 2020 and 2021, Urok hosted the monthly live show ‘Sound Without Image’ on Radio Alhara, broadcasting from Bethlehem, Palestine. She is currently a resident DJ at 1982 Art Space & Bar in Athens and has recently DJed at the opening of the 18th Istanbul Biennial. Her DJ sets unfold a polyglot club sound, where Arab, Latinx, and Brazilian rhythms meet leftfield techno and deconstructed bass. We are delighted to be able to include a mixtape of Urok’s DJ set at 1982 Art Space & Bar, Athens in May 2025.
